Honey Cardamom Oatmeal Raisin Cookies {GF, DF, Egg-Free}
Soft, chewy + delicious...these Honey Cardamom Oatmeal Raisin cookies are the real deal! No one will ever know they are gluten-free! + No refined sugar or eggs!! The hint of cardamom + some nutmeg gives these cookies a hint of something special. You could even call these cookies healthy!;).
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
- 3/4 cup sprouted oats (see "Oatmeal" header in the post)
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 pods cardamom, finely ground (about 1/8 tsp)*
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg (already ground would work as well)
- 1/2 cup runny honey
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins
- freshly grated nutmeg for on top of cookie (fresh is best but pre-ground would too)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a small dish mix flaxseed with water to make your flax "egg". Stir and set aside.
- Heat coconut oil in a small saucepan to melt. Let cool.
- In a medium-large bowl whisk together dry ingredients until clumps are removed.
- Make a well in the center and add in cooled coconut oil, honey (use coconut oil measuring cup to make it easier), vanilla, and flax "egg".
- Mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon until everything is well-mixed and moist.
- Add in raisins and mix until well-incorporated.
- Scoop dough by heaping tbsp onto cookie sheet. Makes 15 cookies.
- Divide the remaining dough to the cookies to make your 15. With slightly wet hands lightly press down cookies a tad + form them a little to be round.
- Grate fresh nutmeg on top of the cookie.
- Bake for 14 minutes until brown on top and edges brown. Oven times may vary.
- Remove the whole pan to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove each cookie from the sheet pan onto wire rack to cool! May want to let a cook a bit more before biting in:).
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I used a mortar and pestle to grind. Could also use a spice grinder. I have not tried substituting with already ground cardamom but I'm sure this would work as well.
